Any bets?

I'd say that as a group we have well over 90% of the different Juans and that may be including the 1 of 1's...while I agree a little competition is fun...I have other priorities that are more important then becoming #1 or even #4 on the list...the best thing about this site to me is being able to look at some of the Juan's I'll never be able to get/afford.I also feel like I've made some good friends here...I continue to add to my collection knowing I'll never pass anyone already in front of me on the list...if it was all about competition...I'd give up and sell my collection now...

PS...my collection is NOT for sale

Kevin,

I like your attitude. That is why I only claim to have 538 cards. I collect because I want to collect and I don't really care if all of you have more cards than me. In fact I would not mind being at the bottom of the list. This is a card board hobby for enjoyment as far as I am concerned. I also do not jump around from player to player. Only Juan more card to go!

I would not ever sell off a piece of the collection. I actually spend more of my Hank Blalock collection than my on my Juan's. It is more fun as the competition is not as high. I have 148 true 1/1 Blalock's and can usually get them for less than $40 with plates selling for around $20.
My Juan doubles have always fluttered in numbers as I would trade or sell them to anyone. I try not to add any extras at this point. This site has been good to track what I need.
If I were to ever sell out my Juans, I would not start collecting him again. Its easy to make an offer to sell knowing there isnt a buyer and it isnt going anywhere.

oh, the foot locker card is always for sale Dan. You have 1st dibs. Just $9999 and its yours. For a buck more, I will throw in 6500 more Juans.

I could buy about 650 PSA 10's for $9999 if Rob doesn't jack the price up. I think that I would rather have the PSA 10's at this stage.

sorry,i do not JACK the price up! i see a card i would like to have and i bid.if i win the card for the price i have in mind then thats GREAT! if not,well then maybe next time i will get it at that price.some times i rarely bid more than once on a card i would like to have.you will not see me bid more than 4 times on the same auction.I NEVER HAVE!
i have seen some people with 10-15 bids on the same auction.thats nutz!just remember you just got SNIPED!

I go back and forth on bidding habits...... Sometimes, I just bid once. It just depends on how cool and rare the card is.
